Is the whole cost of living higher up there, or just certain aspects?
quoting southpark..."BLAME CANADA!"

jeez... Well I guess be glad you're not from the other half of the world. Much of Europe, Turkey and even Germany has gas priced over $8 a gallon... I can see those poor people trying to go 70mph on the autobahn to conserve gas.

Why what, the gas prices? or the stupid joke about speed...
the gas prices have to do with the global economic situation. Most of the US gets its gas from Central American oil... Our own oil gets sent away... we don't even get to use it ourselves. And Europe, Germany etc. get the Arab oil. Who screwed the pooch on that one?

One thing that people don't seem to be complaining about is when the hourly rate works out in their favor. The dealer quoted me .75 hours to install the Ipod integration in the wifes 2004 325CI. When everything was said and done the install took 1.5 hours, not including the free wash. The tech who installed it also made recommendations to replace speakers, etc.. All of which were covered by the warranty. In total, I paid .75 hours and had about $1200 worth of work done. I think the best analogy I have seen on this post was the shoes that cost $25 to make and were sold for $100 - everyone is out to make a profit, sometimes they win and some times they lose, it is the average that keeps them in business.
